#1 Tommaso Ciampa
As #DIY, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano had plenty of potential, but after transforming his look following his big heel turn, The Psycho Killer has turned himself into absolute money. Blackheart is one of the best heels in the wrestling business today, but that doesn't impact his in-ring work, as his 2018 was one of the best years anyone has ever had down in NXT.
Matches with Johnny Gargano, Aleister Black, Velveteen Dream and others have all been absolutely breathtaking to watch, and with his unique look and great character work, he's a future World Champion for sure. His time left down in NXT depends on the story he's currently telling alongside his former best-friend Gargano and when they want to wrap that up, but with few guys being able to draw heat on the main roster, Tomasso is the perfect guy to bring up and push to the moon.
